If you are not yet an experienced builder, and want to try something that is a little easier to build as a ?first? IOM project, I’ve almost finished the first hull of an own-design double chine IOM, which I’ve designed to be a little easier and quicker to build than a strip-plank wooden/fiberglass IOM. The design is not intended to be highly competitive, but if well built, and fitted with good appendages and rig/sails, should be fine for club racing. She’s built with 11 shadows plus transom and bow plate/stem piece, but I could simplify this down to the standard 10 shadows. It may be sensible to wait and see how she performs, and I intend to post the design on the web once the first boat is sailing, but if you are not yet ready to tackle a project like, for example, the Triple Crown, I’d be happy to share this design now. Here?s a pic of the shadows on the building board, together with the keelson and gunwhale planks held in place by temporary screws.
I would like to have more plans and that you recomend me to how plan is the best and competitive. If the plan is a litle dificult to build it’s not important.
